  2. Visiting the Byodo-In Temple in Hawaii ◦ The Byodo-In Temple can also be called Hawai'Ike Temple, TMT Center, or Waimea Temple. It is located in the Hana area of the Big Island on the island Oahu in July 1969 as a centennial commemorative of the 100th year of Japanese immigration to Hawai'Ike Island. Every year, more than one million people travel from around the world to Honolulu to visit the Byodo-In Temple. Many choose to pray at the sacred temple every single day. ◦ Visitors aren't allowed to enter the main gate. However, you are able to view the inside of the temple by standing just a couple of feet from the gate. One wall of this Buddhist temple features an image of a seated Buddha with the hands of the Buddha statue holding a 3-ton bell on which the names of all past rulers and followers are written. This bell, dubbed makau (womb bell), is located in the center of a large bell-like sculpture of a human. This bell serves as the bell tower of the sacred temple, and visitors are allowed to listen to the monk chant prayers.
